Talking alone doesn't help.

But together it does!

Self-help groups bring people together to talk about their worries and needs and support each other. The self-help office will be glad to assist you.

How self-help works

That's why people meet in self-help groups

  • Putting into words what burdens and occupies you can provide relief. 
  • People in similar life situations bring empathy, comfort and courage to each other. And you can do the same! 
  • By exchanging and passing on personal experiences, people help each other. 
  • The results of the latest SHILD study on the subject prove the effectiveness of self-help! 

Find the right group for you
